The Intention Of Never Deceiving Often Exposes

Self-love Makes Our Friends Appear More Or Less Deserving In Proportion To The Delight We Take In Them, And The Measures By Whichwe Judge Of Their Worth Depend Upon The Manner Of Their Conversing With Us.

One Is Never Fortunate Or As Unfortunate As One Imagines.

Our Probity Is Not Less At The Mercy Of Fortune Than Our Property.

The Only Good Imitations Are Those That Poke Fun At Bad Originals.
